Norstar Steel Recyclers

We were thrilled to be invited to the Melbourne Launch of this years World's Greatest Shave.

There was such a vibe of enthusiasm that was shared by the whole room, and James and Lori along with Peter from Anthropology were in ore after hearing the story of a survivor and the support that Leukaemia Foundation were able to offer her throughout her journey with blood cancer 💙

We're super pumped to have the opportunity to make a significant positive impact on peoples lives and we're hoping you'll all come along for the ride.

Blood cancer is Australia’s hidden cancer crisis.

Every day, 53 Australians hear the words ‘you have blood cancer’, and 16 people lose their life to the disease.

And those numbers are set to nearly double by 2035!

Unless we do something about it.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Norstar is now supporting the Leukaemia Foundation as it strives to achieve ZERO lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

We are leading the charge against blood cancer, one tonne at a time, by donating a sum for every tonne of scrap we recycle or buy!

You too can play a vital role by joining us in transforming lives and creating a brighter future for those affected by blood cancer!

Every year, hundreds of workplaces across the country take part in the World’s Greatest Shave. Norstar doesn’t stand back!

The World's Greatest Shave is a pivotal initiative that funds game-changing support and research for blood cancer!

Together, let's transform lives and contribute to a future where blood cancer is no longer a threat!

🔹Did you know what magnets don't stick to non-ferrous materials? 🧲

🔹Did you also know that non-ferrous material is worth more money at a metal recycler than steel? 💰

If you're looking at maximising your scrap metal recycling, then you need a magnet!

It isn't always easy to tell the difference between steel and aluminum or stainless steel so if you use a magnet and it doesn't stick you have yourself some precious metal. A quick google search should identify what commodity it is.

When you bring it in to one of our Norstar facilities, separate it from your steel and take it to our non-ferrous shed and we'll weigh it and pay you accordingly on the way out.

♻️ 2023 WAS EXCEPTIONAL! 🥳

Last year we returned hundreds of thousands of tonnes of processed scrap metal to steelmaking operations to be transformed into an endless list of new "things".

Recycling has never been more important, and it's never been easier to recycle your unwanted/unused metal.

Contact us today 👉 www.norstar.com.au and we'll work with you to secure a solution for all of your steel recycling needs.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼!

It's always at the worst time possible that your fridge stops working or your washing machine floods the laundry. Gone are the days when you'd call a repair man and he'd come out and fix it. We answer the final question on your journey for replacing your appliances.

𝗗𝗢: We take ALL of your broken or unwanted/unused appliances! Washing machines, fridges, freezers, dryers, air conditioners and ovens.

𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗧: Gas bottles and pressurised containers.
Even empty gas bottles pose an unsafe risk of exploding and therefore we are unable to accept them. There are many organisations that do, and they're just an google check away!

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁? We've got you covered!

Everyone wants to do their part for the environment but sometimes it's hard to know what goes where. We'll help you get to the bottom of it, and any unwanted piles you may have laying around.

𝗗𝗢: Bathtubs both steel and cast iron and tapware as well. Old steel basin? chuck that in too. Old pipes after a whole bathroom reno? Absolutely we do!

𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗧: Lithium-ion batteries and e-waste. *
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly popular in new technologies; however, they have also been proved responsible for an increase in fires in garbage trucks and steel recycling yards. While E-waste is very recyclable, it takes a more complex process than a steel recycling facility is designed for.
* A simple google search is rich in results for specific and professional recyclers of both lithium-ion batteries and e-waste and are usually free.

What better time than just before those long-awaited Christmas holidays, when just about everyone has something to throw out, to go through a few of the things we do and don't take.

𝗗𝗢: Corrugated iron, and colorbond fencing/roofing.
Even painted or rusted, we take it all! All steel goes through quite a few processes which will reestablish the strength and integrity of it before it becomes something else.

𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗧: Wheels WITH Tyres.
Even though the wheel is steel, the Tyre is not. There are a few different ways that they can be disposed of correctly which will result in the steel finding its way to a metal recycler.

WHAT IS ❓

🔹 LEAD 🔹

Lead, once commonly used in plumbing and paints, has faced significant restrictions and bans due to its toxic nature. This heavy, malleable metal with a bluish-gray hue has played various roles throughout history though.
Let's discover more about Lead:

- It is known for its relatively low melting point and resistance to corrosion, which has made it a preferred material for a range of applications.

-Lead's high density makes it ideal for efficient energy storage in lead-acid batteries used in vehicles and uninterruptible power supply systems.
- Lead is essential in medical facilities and nuclear industries for radiation shielding, as it effectively absorbs and attenuates ionizing radiation.

Lead recycling us profitable and preserves resources, reduces the environmental impact of production, and minimises the risk of lead pollution. Stringent regulations in some regions ensure safe and responsible lead recycling to protect both human health and the environment.

WHAT IS ❓

🔹 BRASS 🔹

Brass is a versatile alloy that has found a multitude of uses due to its unique combination of properties, primarily copper and zinc.
Here are a few facts about brass that you may not know:

- Brass, with its unique golden hue, boasts excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice for marine and plumbing uses.
-Brass is praised for its high electrical conductivity, making it suitable for electrical components and connectors as well.
- Valued for its aesthetic appeal, brass is commonly used in decorative items, musical instruments, and architectural details.

Recycling brass not only minimises waste but also provides financial incentives, supporting economic and environmental objectives for individuals and industries engaged in the recycling process.

Congratulations to all involved in growing a furry lip worm to raise much needed funds and awareness for men's health!

Our Norstar team raised $9455.85 in our first year of participation, by growing some face fuzz, walking some km's and putting on simultaneous fundraising BBQs at 4 of our 5 yards.

To everyone that supported our cause, bought a sausage, worked the BBQ, cut onions or rattled tins, thank you 🙏 ⭐

Here's to raising double in 2024!

WHAT IS ❓

🔹 ALUMINUM 🔹

Aluminum, often spelled aluminium in many parts of the world, is a lightweight and abundant metal with a wide range of applications.

Let's discover some of the main characteristics:

- Its low density makes it an ideal choice for industries where weight reduction is critical, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
- It is highly corrosion-resistant, thanks to a thin oxide layer that forms on its surface, further enhancing its appeal.
- It is an excellent conductor of heat, making it a preferred material for heat sinks and cookware.
- It requires only a fraction of the energy compared to primary aluminium production, which involves extracting the metal from bauxite ore.

The scrap value of aluminium is significant and has led to a thriving recycling industry.

Recycling promotes sustainability while minimising the environmental impact of aluminum production.
